When you're down and troubled

And you need a helping hand
And nothing, nothing is going right

to brighten up even your darkest nights
You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall
All you have to do is call
and I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah
You've got a friend

And that cold north wind should begin to blow
